Plans for a pilot exploration fracking program in WA's Kimberley region have prompted Indigenous people and environmentalists to fight for an outright ban on the controversial method of accessing shale gas in the area. Oil and gas company Buru Energy plans to begin the pilot, which will involve the hydraulic fracturing of four wells in the Canning Basin, east of Broome, in April, subject to final environmental approval. The fracking process involves fracturing shale and other hard rock, between 2.5km and 4km underground, to release the shale gas. It has caused controversy in the United States where opponents claim it has contaminated local water supplies. Some in the Kimberley fear the same will happen there, with one environmentalist raising concern about a "legacy of toxic chemicals".Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:18:00 +1100\xmlcontent\201403\3956701.xmlABC KimberleykimberleyBusiness, Economics and Finance:All:AllBusiness, Economics and Finance:Industry:AllBusiness, Economics and Finance:Industry:MiningBusiness, Economics and Finance:Industry:Oil and GasEnvironment:All:AllEnvironment:Conservation:AllEnvironment:Mining:AllRural:Mining:AllAustralia:All:AllAustralia:WA:AllAustralia:WA:Broome 6725Drilling for shale oil and gasDrilling for shale oil and gas: Fracking plans fuel fight over environmental impactPlans to use fracking to access shale gas in Western Australia's Kimberley region is fuelling anxiety over possible environmental impacts.Sue Lannin-17.957 122.2395Hope for park back-burning to protect rock arthttp://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-02-11/hope-for-park-back-burning-to-protect-rock-art/5252398?source=rss
